If Pawlenty can get elected in Minnesota, I think he can get elected throughout America.

If Pawlenty can get elected in Minnesota, I think he can get elected throughout America.

Or not. His kind of middling, bland country club type is not going to be very persuasive with a steaming, angry electorate you're going to see in 2012, after 5 years of climbing unemployment. He's the perfect guy for 000bama to run against; he can't excite anyone, not even Minnesotoans.

Yeah, cause everyone knows Minnesota is a microcosm of America (rolls eyes).

Pawlenty is pro-amnesty and a believer in manmade global warming. Using your logic, if Giuliani can get elected in NYC, he can get elected throughout America.

If Pawlenty can get elected in Minnesota, I think he can get elected throughout America.

Except that Pawlenty has never won a majority vote in Minnesota. Without the Independence Party candidate messing with the vote, Pawlenty might never have been elected at all.

Lindsay Graham could also get elected in Minnesota. But not with my vote.
